[Bug 241054] New: Default Public NTP Server for Great Britain gives error unknown host.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241054 Summary: Default Public NTP Server for Great Britain gives error unknown host. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stevegoodey@spamcop.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com When setting up a Public NTP Server for a PC in Great Britain the server automatically offered is gb.pool.ntp.org. But that gives "Server is unreachable or does not respond properly" error message when the test button is pressed. Pinging gb.pool.ntp.org gives unknown host. Has been checked on two different PCs, clean install, dual boot with Windows XP. Checking with www.pool.ntp.org the correct server address should be uk.pool.ntp.org How to get there. YaST, Network Services, NTP Configuration. In the Automatically Start NTP Deamon select during boot, continue past the warning message. In the NTP Server Configuration, next to the server Address box press select, click on Public NTP Server. Country shows Great Britain, Public NTP Servers box shows gb.pool.ntp.org (Great Britain) My first bug report, hope this is ok. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241054 ------- Comment #1 from kmachalkova@novell.com 2007-02-05 10:41 MST ------- I wish there were more bug reports like this :-) Now the situation with public ntp servers for Great Britain in YaST is somehow confusing. While available ntp server databases use shortcut UK, YaST takes country shortcuts and names from locale and there, GB is always used. As a result, all the ntp servers for Great Britain are listed under 'UK' and only (nonexisting) gb.pool.ntp.org is used for 'real' Great Britain To avoid confusion, I'll merge these two lists. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether there is equivalence (UK <=> Great Britain). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

As far as I'm aware they are the same from a time zone point of view. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
